Information About

Ohio Valley Wrestling




Ohio Valley Wrestling ('''OVW''') is an American Independent Circuit Professional Wrestling Promotion based in Louisville, Kentucky . OVW is mostly recognized for its up-and-coming wrestlers and serves as the official training ground for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). OVW is run by owner Danny Davis and the organization was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance (as '''NWA Ohio Valley Championship Wrestling''') from 1998 until 2001, when OVW became part of the WWE developmental program. Previously booked by Jim Cornette , it is unclear who the head booker is at this time since Cornette's firing. WWE has sent Paul Heyman to OVW to book on a temporary basis. Heymans' booking, reminiscent of a motivated Heymans' days in the early periods of ECW, has made OVW a much discussed promotion on its own merit around the Internet Wrestling Community .

OVW wrestlers are often used as Jobbers , or "enhancement talents", for the WWE to make their stars look better. Sometimes OVW wrestlers are even used as Plants for WWE shows.
